George Lee has been the anchor commentator for RTE on the economy and the actions taken by the government throughout the current crisis.  He now puts himself forward as a candidate for the main opposition party in the forthcoming by- election.  I think three months off – between the RTE job and being a FG candidate would be entirely appropriate.

The more I look at it the more I believe we need national government.   The government has started to prescribe the tough medicine – with a lot more to come.  We do  not need party politics at this time.  We need choices from the right and left of centre.  Time for FG/FF to be big boys and bury the hatchet.  And there should be a left of centre alternative – to be led by Labour.
